Description

  The present invention relates to a hair styling tool that combines a bristle and a blade.

As this type of background art, an invention described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2003-190675 is known.
According to this invention, the blade edge of the razor blade is intermittently covered with semicircular protrusions protruding from the edge of the blade, and the exposed blade edge and the covered edge are provided alternately.
A groove is provided between a pair of adjacent protrusions for the purpose of limiting the amount of combing when the hair is cut.
JP 2003-190675 A

In the background art described in Patent Document 1, there is an advantage that a pair of protrusions can limit the amount of hair when cutting the hair, and the amount of hair supplied to the exposed blade edge of the blade body is stable due to the protrusions. However, the exposed edge of the blade will face at right angles to the hair in the same way as a hair styling tool widely known from the past.
Therefore, if we razor is moved along the scalp, although hair can be reliably cut, because the blade edge contacts at right angles to the hair, little to be excessively cut hair Kunaku, so-called "close-cropped" Often occurred.
This is because the difference between the cut portion of the hair cut by the razor and the non-cut hair is remarkable.
Therefore, if it was going to avoid "tiger cutting", the work required skill and the complexity could not be avoided.

An object of the present invention is to simplify the hairdressing work and eliminate complexity.
Another object is to provide a hair styling device capable of avoiding so-called “tiger cutting”.
Furthermore, another object is to provide a hair styling device capable of adjusting the amount of hair cut small.

The first problem-solving means of the present invention comprises a cutting tool with a vertical cutting edge, a hairdressing tool main body having a substantially U-shaped cross-sectional shape with a large number of bristles, and a hairstyling tool base material,
The blade is internally mounted on the main part of the hairdressing tool body with the blade edge facing outwards.
The bristle is provided obliquely with respect to the cutting edge of the blade, and the bristle protrudes outside the cutting edge of the blade,
The hair styling tool is characterized in that at least two hair styling body bodies are erected from the hair styling tool base material at a predetermined interval, and the blade tips of the respective blades are set in the same direction.

A second problem solving means of the present invention is the hair styling tool according to the first problem solving means, wherein the inclination angle of the bristle is 120 to 150 degrees with respect to the cutting edge of the blade.

According to a third aspect of the present invention, there is provided a hair styling tool comprising a handle in the first or second aspect of the invention.

Since the 1st subject solution means is comprised as mentioned above, there exist the following effects.
  Since a large number of bristle is inclined with respect to the cutting edge, the hair is introduced between the inclined bristle by moving the hairdressing tool along the scalp from the top to the bottom of the head, It is induced by the bristles in an inclined state and comes into contact with the cutting edge of the blade (see FIGS. 2 and 3).

Therefore, the contact angle between the hair and the blade edge of the cutting tool does not contact at a right angle as in the background art, but comes into contact with a constant inclination angle.

Thus, in the background art, since the hair contacts at right angles to the cutting edge, the cut portion of the hair is perpendicular to the length direction of the hair.
Therefore, the difference between the non-cut hair and the hair at the cut portion became remarkable, and so-called “tiger cutting” was generated.

  In contrast, in the present invention, the hair is forcibly guided by the inclined bristle, so that the hair is inclined and cut (see FIGS. 2 and 3).

  Therefore, the mechanism of this point will be described in more detail.
  Along with the movement of the hairdressing tool, the hair is forcibly brought into contact with the blade edge in an inclined state while being guided by a bristle at a constant inclination angle.

  As a result, the cutting edge can be cut by rubbing the hair diagonally along the length direction of the hair, so that the cut portion of the hair is inclined at a certain angle following the moving direction of the cutting edge of the blade, that is, the inclination angle ( (See FIGS. 2 and 3).

  Therefore, since the hair is cut in an inclined state, when one cut hair is watched, the cutting start portion side is cut thick and the cutting end portion side is cut thin.
  In general, human hair is thick on the scalp and thin on the tip. According to the hair styling device of the invention, since the hair cut portion is thick on the scalp side and thins toward the tip, the hair cut portion is simulated to be close to natural hair.
  Since the hair is gradually cut toward the neck side with the movement of the hair styling tool, the hair can be cut into a state close to natural hair in a unified state as a whole.
  Therefore, there is no possibility that the hair is partially cut excessively, and since there is little difference between the cut part and the non-cut part, there is no possibility of causing so-called “tiger cutting”.

  In addition, the hair cutting operation only needs to be performed along an inclined bristle along the scalp, so that no skill or so-called “hanging” is required.

  In addition to the above effects, the following effects are achieved.
  Hair can be introduced between at least two hairdressing tool bodies provided at regular intervals.
  And while a certain amount of hair introduced between the hairdressing tool bodies does not cut by contact with the blade edge of the blade, a certain amount of hair introduced between the hairdressing body bodies is inclined to the blade edge by the bristle. Can be introduced and disconnected.

  In the case of this invention, since a certain amount of hair cannot be actively cut, and the amount of non-cutting can be expected, it contributes particularly to the case where the hair is cut and the amount of cutting of hair is reduced.

Since the second problem solving means is configured as described above, the following effects can be obtained.
  In addition to the operational effects common to the first problem solving means, the hair cutting function is achieved especially when the left hand is used.

  Since the third problem solving means is configured as described above, the following effects can be obtained.
  In addition to having the same effects as the first, second or third problem solving means, the handle Because it is equipped with, it is easy to use.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION

  The purpose of simplifying hairdressing work and eliminating complexity and avoiding so-called “tiger cutting” was achieved by tilting the bristle.

  A hair styling tool 10 according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings (see FIG. 1).
  Unless otherwise noted, the essence of the configurations of Examples 1 to 4 is common.
  The hairdressing tool 10 has a main body 10a, a bristle 10b, a handle 10c, and a blade 12 combined.
  Although the blade 12 is made of metal, the inventor tried to make the other main body 10a, the bristle 10b, and the handle 10c by integrally molding plastics, but any material such as wood may be used.

  As is known, a cutting tool 12 having a vertical cutting edge 12a is attached to one side of the hairdressing tool body 10a.

  A large number of bristles 10b are provided at regular intervals so as to be known outside the cutting edge 12a of the blade 12.

  Here, what is noticed is that in the conventional hairdressing tools, the bristles are arranged in a direction perpendicular to the cutting edge of the cutting tool. In the present invention, these bristles 10b are inclined with respect to the cutting edge 12a. Are arranged.

  Although it has been described that the bristles 10b are inclined with respect to the cutting edge 12a, the inclination angle is suitably 60 to 90 degrees when the right hand is used.
  On the other hand, when preparing for the left-hand use, an appropriate inclination angle is 120 to 150 degrees.

  Since the bristle 10b is inclined with respect to the blade edge 12a, the hair H is forced to be inclined by the inclined bristle 10b when the hair H is cut. Contact (see FIGS. 2 and 3).

  Thus, in the background art, since the cutting edge of the blade is in contact with the hair at a right angle, the cutting portion is at a right angle and there is a possibility of excessively cutting the hair. 12a always rubs the side surface of the hair H and acts on the hair H while being inclined in the direction of the arrow Y as shown in FIGS.

  Incidentally, the human hair H is thick on the scalp T side and thin toward the tip, but according to the hairdressing tool 10 according to the present invention, the hair H to be cut is thick on the scalp T side and gradually thinned toward the tip to become natural hair. It can be cut in a forged state (see FIGS. 2 and 3).

  Thus, in the background art, since the hair contacts at right angles to the cutting edge, the cut portion of the hair is perpendicular to the length direction of the hair.

  Therefore, the difference between the uncut hair and the hair at the cut portion becomes remarkable, and so-called “tiger cutting” occurs. However, in the present invention, as described above, the cut portion of the hair H is cut in an inclined state. Since there is little difference with cut hair, there is no risk of “tiger cutting”.

  In this example, the hair styling tool can be used in three ways.
  The purpose of enabling the hairdressing tool 10 to be used in three ways is to make it possible to adjust the cutting amount of the hair H temporarily, further to allow secondary adjustment, and The purpose is to enable diversion to “comb” by stopping the cutting function.

  In the case of FIGS. 4 to 6, three protrusions 18 are provided.
  The purpose of these protrusions 18 was revealed by moving the adjusting member 14a to the bristle 10b side, and the protrusions 18 crossed the cutting edge 12a of the blade 12 and actively closed the cutting edge 12a side of some grooves 10g. Of all the cutting edges 12a, the cutting function of some of the cutting edges 12a is stopped, and unintended cutting of the hair H is suppressed.

  Although these protrusions 18 face the grooves 10g between the bristle 10b, only a part of the grooves 10g out of all the grooves 10g is blocked without correspondingly closing all the grooves 10g between the bristle 10b. It is devised so that it can do.
  In the embodiment of the present invention, the projections 18 are spaced apart from each other by a distance corresponding to the groove 10g so that every other groove 10g can be closed with respect to the six grooves 10g. Is provided.

  Therefore, by cutting the three grooves 10g among the six grooves 10g with the protrusions 18, the hairs 12a of the blade 12 exposed as non-closed portions by the protrusions 18 are utilized to cut the hair. ing.
  Thus, only the cutting edge 12a of the three grooves 10g contributes to the cutting of the hair H so that the cutting amount of the hair H can be adjusted to be small (see FIG. 5).
  On the other hand, when cutting all the grooves 10g, that is, the hair H introduced between the six grooves 10g, the adjustment member 14a is moved, and the protrusion 18 is moved backward from the blade edge 12a, so that the gap between the six grooves 10g is increased. The portion of the blade edge 12a can contribute to the cutting of the hair H (see FIG. 4).

  Note that setting the number of the protrusions 18 and the interval between the protrusions 18 are merely design matters of the product.

  Since the adjustment member 14a is provided so as to be movable stepwise, the adjustment member 14a is provided with the blister. Two guide holes 14b having an inclination angle corresponding to the inclination angle of the stle 10b are formed.

  On the other hand, the hair styling tool body 10a is provided with two guide protrusions 14c that are loosely fitted into the guide holes 14b of the adjusting member 14a. The guide protrusions 14c are loosely fitted into the guide holes 14b, respectively.
  Thus, the adjusting member 14a is controlled by the guide protrusion 14c and guided to the inclined guide hole 14b, and can be moved forward and backward.
  By being advanced toward the bristle 10b side, the protrusion 18 provided on the adjusting member 14a is fixedly controlled inside the blade edge 12a by stepping over or retracting the blade edge 12a stepwise.

  Further, by advancing the groove adjusting member 14a to the maximum, by closing all the blade edges 12a exposed between the grooves 10g, the function of the blade 12 is temporarily stopped, and only the bristle 10b is used. It is designed to be diverted to “Lottery” (see FIG. 6).

  In order to be able to move the adjustment member 14a in a stepwise manner, a part of the hair accessory body 10a, in the case of FIGS. The locking members N1, N2, and N3 are provided at intervals.
  On the other hand, an engaging portion 14d having a gentle arc is provided on the inner edge of the adjusting member 14a near the locking members N1, N2, and N3 so as to engage with the locking members N1, N2, and N3. Yes.

  Since the above-described locking members N1, N2, and N3 are engaged with the engaging portion 14d, when the adjusting member 14a is moved, the moving distance of the adjusting member 14a is three locking members N1. , N2 and N3 are reliably controlled, and are classified into three stages and are not reluctant.

  One end of the adjustment member 14a is provided with a knob 16 for operating the adjustment member 14a.

  This example is shown in FIGS.
  In this example, the hairdressing tool 10 enables fine adjustment of the cutting function, and there are many points in common with the second embodiment, but in addition to being able to be diverted to “comb”, it is possible to facilitate cleaning of the blade. The purpose is to be.

  The hairdressing tool 10 has a main body 10a, a bristle 10b, a handle 10c, and a blade 12 combined.
  Also in this example, the cutting tool 12 provided with the vertical blade edge | tip 12a is provided in the hairdressing tool main body 10a.

  On the other hand, a bristle member 10d having a large number of bristles 10b is provided independently of the hairdressing tool body 10a so as to be movably controlled by the hairdressing tool body 10a.

  When the bristle member 10d is mounted on the hairdressing tool main body 10a, a large number of bristles 10b are inclined with respect to the blade edge 12a.

  Among all the grooves 10g between the bristle 10b, a part of the grooves 10g is closed by a closing member 10e on the bottom side.
  The purpose of closing some of the grooves 10g by the closing member 10e is the same as that of the protrusion 18 of the second embodiment, but has a secondary purpose.

  An opening side 10f of the groove 10g of the closing member 10e is inclined in a symmetric direction with respect to the inclination direction of the bristle 10b.
  Since the open side 10f is inclined in a symmetric direction with respect to the inclination direction of the bristle 10b, the cutting edge 12 of the blade 12 when facing the open side 10f. Instead of using the entire width of the groove 10g, a is regulated by the inclined portion of the open side 10f so that the cutting amount of the hair H can be adjusted using a part of the blade edge 12a. .
  The fact that the opening side 10f of the closing member 10e is inclined symmetrically with respect to the inclination direction of the bristle 10b does not mean that the opening side 10f is absolutely symmetrical with the inclination of the bristle 10b. Symmetric, meaning symmetric directionality.

  In order to be able to control the bristle member 10d so as to be movable to the hairdressing tool body 10a, it is configured as follows.
  A part of the bristle member 10d near the outer side opposite to the bristle 10b is opened and an opening 20 is formed.
  By forming the opening 20, the opening 20 side of the bristle member 10d is divided into two upper and lower stages in the drawing, and an upper part 22 and a lower part 24 are formed.
  A part of the upper portion 22 is cut out with the outside opened, and a cutout portion 26 is formed.
  The notch 26 itself does not perform any function, but by providing the notch 26, the thin upper portion 22 adjacent to the outside of the notch 26 serves as a pressing tool 28 having an elastic action described later. Can be configured.
  A guide projection 30 is provided below the upper portion 22 near the opening of the notch 26.
  A locking member 32 is provided below the outside of the presser 28 described above.
  A knob 34 projects from the upper portion 22 in preparation for the movement of the bristle member 10d.

  On the other hand, the hairdressing tool body 10a is provided with several mechanisms in preparation for the combination with the bristle member 10d.
  An elongated guide groove 36 is formed in the hairdressing tool main body 10a so that the guide protrusion 30 provided on the bristle member 10d can be fitted and the bristle member 10d can move.
  By fitting the guide projection 30 of the bristle member 10d into the elongated guide groove 36, the bristle member 10d can be moved forward and backward.
  Next to the guide groove 36, a movement regulating member 38 having a number of knurled eyes for regulating the movement distance of the bristle member 10d is provided.
  When the bristle member 10d is mounted on the hairdressing tool main body 10a, the locking member 32 provided on the lower side outside the presser 28 of the bristle member 10d is the movement restricting member 38 described above at regular intervals via the knurled eyes. It is locked to.

  When the bristle member 10d is mounted on the hairdressing tool main body 10a, the support shaft 40 is turned around the movement restricting member 38 of the hairstyling tool main body 10a for the purpose of suppressing the lifting of the movement rule presser 28 described above. A movable lifting restraining member 42 is provided.
  The lifting restraining member 42 is rotated toward the presser 28 side of the bristle member 10d, and the support shaft 40 is fixed after being engaged with the presser 28, thereby suppressing the reluctance of the presser 28.

  On the other hand, when removing the bristle member 10d from the hairdressing tool body 10a and preparing for the cleaning of the blade 12, the engagement state between the lifting restraining member 42 and the pressing tool 28 is released. Loosen and the fixed state is released.

  Next, the usage method of the hairdressing tool 10 of this Example is demonstrated with reference to FIGS.
(1) When cutting hair (primary cutting).
  Holding the knob 34 of the bristle member 10d, the bristle member 10d is retracted by a predetermined distance.
  In this case, the interval is reliably controlled by the combination of the locking member 32 of the presser 28 and the movement restricting member 38.

  Thus, the cutting edge 12a of the blade 12 attached to the hairdressing tool body 10a is a closing member. Although not exposed in the groove 10g provided with 10e, it is exposed in the groove 10g without the closing member 10e (see FIG. 9).
  Therefore, the hair H is cut by the exposed blade edge 12a.
  In this case, in this embodiment, since the cutting edge 12a is not exposed to all the grooves 10g, the hair H is cut by the cutting edges 12a exposed to some of the grooves 10g. The function is the same as that of the second embodiment.

(2) When performing fine adjustment of cutting of hair together (secondary cutting).
  Holding the knob 34 of the bristle member 10d, the bristle member 10d is moved back to the maximum.
  In this case, the interval is reliably controlled by the combination of the locking member 32 of the presser 28 and the movement restricting member 38.

  Thus, a part of the blade edge 12a of the blade 12 attached to the hairdressing tool body 10a can be exposed to the groove 10g beyond the closing member 10e.
  Furthermore, the cutting edge 12a having a width equal to the width of the groove 10g is exposed in the groove 10g without the closing member 10e (see FIG. 9).
  Therefore, the hair H is cut by two types of cutting edges 12a, the cutting edge 12a having a width equal to the width of the groove 10g and the cutting edge 12a controlled by the closing member 10e.

  In this case, the primary cutting described above can be performed by the cutting edge 12a having a width equal to the width of the groove 10g, and fine adjustment can be performed by the cutting edge 12a controlled by the closing member 10e.
  In other words, fine-cutting here means that the amount of hair cut can be further reduced.

  In particular, since the movement distance of the bristle member 10d can be freely set, the exposure state of the blade edge 12a controlled by the closing member 10e can be freely set according to the movement distance. Self Therefore, the amount of hair cut can be adjusted (see FIG. 13).

(3) When diverted as “comb”.
  Holding the knob 34 of the bristle member 10d, the bristle member 10d is advanced to the maximum.
  In this case, the interval is reliably controlled by the combination of the locking member 32 of the presser 28 and the movement restricting member 38.

  Thus, the cutting edge 12a of the cutting tool 12 mounted on the hairdressing tool body 10a is concealed by the bristles 10b of the bristle member 10d without exposing the cutting edge 12a of the cutting tool 12 in the groove 10g.
  Thus, since the function of the blade 12 is stopped, the hairstyling tool 10 is diverted as a “comb” using only the bristle 10b.

  This example is shown in FIG.
  The fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
  In this example, it can be said that in the essence of the invention, at least two hairdressing tools 10 according to the first embodiment are provided and two hairstyling tools 10 are provided on the base material.

  Therefore, this example will be described. At least two hairdressing tool bodies 44 each including a blade 12 having a vertical cutting edge 12a and a large number of bristles 10b are provided.
  In the case shown in the figure, five hairdressing tool bodies 44 are provided.
  The main body constituting the hairdressing tool main body 44 is made of plastics, and the cross-sectional shape is a substantially U-shaped one in which a large number of bristles 10b are obliquely directed, and the blade 12 has its blade edge 12a facing outward. Decorated in the main part.

  The blade edge 12a is directed to the outside of the main body of the hairdressing tool main body 44, and a large number of bristle 10b is inclined with respect to the blade edge 12a. The lug 10b protrudes outside the cutting edge 12a of the blade 12.

  At least two hairdressing tool bodies 44 are erected on the hairstyling tool base material 46 at a predetermined interval, and the cutting edges 12a of the respective blades 12 are set in the same direction, and the plurality of bristle 10 b is provided obliquely in a direction away from the hairdressing tool base material 46.
  Here, the fact that the bristle 10b is provided obliquely in a direction away from the base material 46 for the hairdressing tool means that the bristle 10b is provided obliquely upward in the drawing.

  The hair H can be introduced between at least two hairdressing tool bodies 44 provided at regular intervals.
  In other words, the adjacent hairdressing tool main body 44 itself functions as a bristle.
  Therefore, a certain amount of hair H introduced between the hairdressing tool bodies 44 is not cut by contact with the cutting edge 12 a of the blade 12, but the hair H is combed by the adjacent hairdressing tool bodies 44. A certain amount of the introduced hair H can be introduced into the blade edge in an inclined state and cut by the bristle 10b as in the problem solving means of the first embodiment.
  As described above, since the adjacent hairdressing tool main body 44 itself has the function of a bristle, the distance between the adjacent hairdressing tool main bodies 44 is equal to the interval between the commonly used bristle 10b, for example, 3 mm. It is preferable to set the degree.

  In the case of the present invention, a certain amount of hair H cannot be actively cut, and the amount of non-cutting can be expected more than the problem solving means of Example 2 and Example 3. This contributes to a thin person or a case where the hair H is cut with a small amount.
